Hello!
I'm back today with another card share from the Simon Says Stamp March 2014 Card Kit.
Coloring was a favorite pastime when I was little.
Oh, who am I kidding? It still is!
I can't get enough of the fun stamps in the March Kit and the crayon stamp is a favorite! I stamped a bunch of the crayons and colored them in using Prismacolor Colored Pencils and Gamsol. Then I cut them out.
Now, I needed something cute and fun to "tuck" my crayons into and what is better than a jar?!!!
I stmaped the jar from Filled With Love Stamp Set onto vellum using the SSS Black ink and then die cut it with the coordinating Filled With Love Jar Die.
I carefully glued the jar to my card using the Zig glue pen right around thee edges of the card, leaving the top "open". I tucked most of the crayons inside and tacked them down with a glue dot.
I carefully punched tiny holes with a needle on each side of the jar (through the patterned paper background) and threaded through the twine from the kit. I stamped the small tag from the Filled With Love Stamp Set, added the greeting and heart and die cut the tag with the Filled With Love Jar Die. I secured the tag to the twine and tied it in a bow.
I stamped the greeting on a strip of white cardstock using stamps from the kit with SSS Black ink and SSS Island Blue ink. I finished with a couple more crayons and added a half circle punched from the striped patt. paper embellished with an enamel dot.
Enjoy your Sunday!
This is fantastic Nichol!! I love the crayons!

I love the crayon it is a fabulous stamp. The Monthly packs are great value, the shipping is too expensive though.
Your card is fabulous. I also adore the jar full of love die and stamp as these are so versatile.
Thanks again for some fabulous inspiration x
